Is it a novel or some kind of history thing?

I would, but I'm sure there are only about four people on Earth who could live up to your definition of "quality" literary debate.

The rest of us would just get a Nic Cage gif.

this throwdown in a nutshell:

McP posts innocuous stuff about Fox News being Fox News

R2D has a flashback to his days operating a gutenberg printing press in Da Nang and throws a lopsided swing at McP

McP calmly steps out of the way

R2D refuses to calm down and attempts to rush McP but trips over a desk covered in papers

McP helps R2D up and offers to give him a ride home

R2D begins a soliloquy about how 'home' doesn't exist anymore since that day in Da Nang. There can never be Home again.

McP slowly backs out of the room and heads toward the parking lot

Exile in Guyville begins to be heard blaring from the now closed office door

McP reaches his car door and stops, convinced he may have heard a loud single 'bang', but that it must just be the music

Fin

I appreciate R2D's unquenchable fury.

Nice, 96583UP.

I give that summary 3 pointless gifs, 12 news alerts and 7 straw men.

JCPenny (and Dillard's) sunk many small- to medium-sized newspapers by pulling there advertising in the mid-aughts.
